Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a wireless data receiving method, and more particularly, to power saving optimization of wireless data reception.
Background
Nowadays, Wireless networks (Wi-Fi) are used everywhere, including laptops, wristbands using batteries, watches, and even small internet of things devices, but Wireless transceivers generally consume more power, thereby reducing the service time of battery devices.
In a wireless network system, after a wireless device (node; Station; STA) establishes a connection with an Access Point (AP), data can be transmitted and received. To save power, the wireless device needs to turn off the transceiver when there is no data packet to be transmitted or received, so as to save power. During the sleep period of the wireless device, the access point will buffer the data frame for the access point, when the access point AP has the buffered data frame, the access point will notify the wireless device through a Traffic Indication Map (TIM) in a Beacon (Beacon) that is periodically transmitted, the wireless device needs to periodically turn on a transceiver to receive the Beacon (Beacon), the wireless device will check the Traffic Indication Map information after receiving the Beacon, and if there is no buffered frame in the access point to transmit to the wireless device, the wireless device will close the transceiver or the radio frequency module again until the access point transmits the Beacon frame again next time.
Fig. 1 is a prior art beacon frame structure, which includes the following parts:
in the conventional power saving mode, the wireless device must receive the entire beacon frame, which is about 3 milliseconds (ms), and then confirm the correctness of the beacon frame through the frame check sequence FCS to determine whether to turn off the transceiver according to the data in the beacon frame. In other words, the wireless device must receive the complete Beacon frame and confirm the validity of the Beacon before turning off the transceiver or rf module, even if the traffic indication map indicates that there are no buffered frames to transmit. In the long-time idle state, an immeasurable amount of electric power is consumed.
Disclosure of Invention
The embodiment of the application provides a wireless data receiving method and wireless equipment for realizing the method, which are used for solving the problem of redundant power consumption in the prior art.
In the process of observing and finding the received frame body from experiments, it is enough to judge whether the data needs to be continuously received as long as the receiving of the traffic indication diagram is completed, so that the wireless data receiving method which enables the wireless device to save more power is provided.
In order to enable a wireless device to receive data from an access point in a more power-saving manner, a wireless data receiving method according to an embodiment of the present application: the transceiver of the wireless device is first turned on for a Beacon scheduled Transmission Time (TBTT). Partial beacon data for a beacon is then received by the wireless device, wherein the partial beacon data has a length that is less than a full length of the beacon and the partial beacon data includes a timestamp and a traffic indication map. The wireless device then determines whether a packet needs to be received based on the traffic indication map.
If the wireless device judges that no data packet needs to be received, the transceiver of the wireless device is turned off under the condition that the beacon is not received, so that the power saving effect is achieved.
And if the wireless device judges that the data packet needs to be received, completely receiving the beacon, wherein the beacon comprises a frame check sequence.
In a further embodiment, the wireless device may confirm the correctness of the beacon according to the frame check sequence after acquiring the full beacon. Turning off the transceiver of the wireless device if the beacon is incorrect. On the other hand, if the beacon is correct, local time synchronization can be further performed according to the time scale, and then the data packet is received. The transceiver of the wireless device is then turned off after the reception of the data packet is complete.
In a further embodiment, in a case where the wireless device determines that no data packet needs to be received according to the traffic indication map, it may further check whether an error between the time stamp and a local time of the wireless device exceeds a threshold. And if the error does not exceed the threshold, executing a local time synchronization function according to the time scale, and then closing the transceiver of the wireless device. On the other hand, if the error exceeds the threshold, the beacon may be completely received and the frame check sequence in the beacon may be checked to confirm the correctness of the beacon.
If the beacon is incorrect, the transceiver of the wireless device is turned off.
On the contrary, if the beacon is correct, the local time synchronization can be performed according to the time mark, and then the data packet is received. And after the reception of the data packet is completed, turning off the transceiver of the wireless device.
In a further embodiment, the wireless device interprets one or more Element identifiers in the portion of beacon data to find an Information Element (IE) of a traffic indicator map, wherein the IE is a bitmap (bit map) of the Information Element of the traffic indicator map.
Another embodiment of the present application is a wireless device for implementing the wireless data reception method. The wireless device comprises a transceiver used for transmitting and receiving wireless signals; the time synchronization module provides a time synchronization function; a power control module to control a power switch of the transceiver; a memory for storing codes; a processor, coupled to the memory and the transceiver, that executes code in the memory to control the wireless device. And the decision module is used for cooperating with the transceiver, the time synchronization module and the power control module to realize the reception of wireless data when the processor is in a dormant state. Wherein: the power control module turns on the transceiver at a beacon scheduled transmission time; the transceiver receives partial beacon data for a beacon, wherein the partial beacon data has a length that is less than a full length of the beacon, and the partial beacon data includes a timestamp and a traffic indication map; the decision module judges whether a data packet needs to be received or not according to the flow indication diagram; and if the power control module judges that the data packet does not need to be received, the power control module shuts down the transceiver under the condition that the beacon is not completely received.
And under the condition that the decision module judges that the data packet needs to be received, the transceiver completely receives the beacon, including the frame check sequence. And the decision module confirms the correctness of the beacon according to the frame check sequence. If the beacon is incorrect, the power control module turns off the transceiver.
When the decision module judges that a data packet needs to be received and the beacon is correct, the time synchronization module executes a local time synchronization function according to the time scale, and the transceiver receives the data packet; and after the transceiver finishes receiving the data packet, the power control module closes the transceiver.
On the other hand, in the case that the decision module determines that no data packet needs to be received, the decision module checks whether an error between the time stamp and the local time of the wireless device exceeds a threshold. If the error does not exceed the threshold, the time synchronization module performs a local time synchronization function according to the time scale, and the power control module then turns off the transceiver.
On the other hand, in the event that the error exceeds the threshold, the transceiver receives the beacon in its entirety, including a frame check sequence. The decision module checks the frame check sequence to confirm the beacon correctness. The decision module turns off the transceiver of the wireless device if the beacon is incorrect. On the other hand, if the beacon is correct, the time synchronization module executes the local time synchronization function according to the time scale, and then wakes up the processor to receive the data packet through the transceiver. After the data packet is received, the power control module closes the transceiver, and the processor enters the sleep power-saving mode again.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
In the conventional power-saving mode, the wireless device STA must receive the entire beacon frame to decide whether to turn off the transceiver. However, the inventor of the present application has experimentally verified that the wireless device STA may determine whether to turn off the transceiver without waiting for receiving a complete frame, and after obtaining the traffic indication map TIM information in the beacon frame, the wireless device STA may determine whether to turn off the transceiver, thereby greatly saving the receiving time and achieving the purpose of greatly saving power. Therefore, the embodiments are described in detail below.
Fig. 2 is a structure of a beacon Frame and details of a traffic indication map TIM information Element IE, where a Frame Check Sequence (FCS) at the end of the Frame is used for Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) to determine whether the beacon Frame has an error, and if the CRC is correct, software or hardware finds the traffic indication map TIM IE according to an Element identification code (Element ID), and determines whether a packet (packet) is to be received according to a specific value in the traffic indication map information Element TIM information Element IE, including a traffic indication map (e.g., a Partial Virtual Bitmap). If so, the wireless device STA may trigger the access point AP to transmit the data packet by transmitting a power save Poll (PS Poll) or NULL data NULL request frame. In the receiving process of the present invention, only part of the beacon data shown in fig. 1 needs to be received to determine whether to enter the power saving mode. And the partial beacon data includes at least the time stamp and the traffic indication map shown in fig. 1. More specifically, the traffic indication map is determined according to the element identifier in the information element of the traffic indication map during the receiving process. In other words, the wireless receiving method according to the embodiment of the present invention omits the frame check sequence and part of data after the traffic indication map, thereby reducing the data receiving amount and entering the power saving mode in advance.
Fig. 3 is a flow of receiving a data packet buffered by an access point AP using a power-saving polling PS Poll request frame. The wireless device STA informs the AP of the AP, the wireless device STA can periodically wake up and listen to the Beacon after entering the sleep mode, when seeing that a data packet needs to be received through the traffic indication map TIM, the wireless device STA sends a power-saving polling PS Poll request Frame to trigger the AP to send a data packet, and the wireless device STA can determine whether to continuously send the power-saving polling PS Poll request Frame to trigger the next data Frame according to more data (more data) fields carried in the data packet (Frame1, Frame2, Frame 3). Until the more data field in the received data packet is 0, the wireless device STA will not turn off the Radio Frequency module (RF) until the next scheduled Beacon transmission time TBTT point to wake up the Radio Frequency module again to receive the Beacon.
Fig. 4 is a flow of receiving a data packet buffered by an AP in a NULL data NULL request frame, where a wireless device STA notifies the AP to periodically listen to a Beacon after entering a sleep mode, and sends a NULL data NULL frame with an energy saving flag ps _ flag of 0 to the AP when it sees that there is a data packet to be received through a traffic indication map TIM, and the AP sends all data packets to the wireless device STA. After the wireless equipment STA finishes receiving the data packet, the wireless equipment STA sends an empty data NULL frame with an energy-saving flag ps _ flag of 1 to the access point AP and closes the radio frequency module. The Beacon is not turned on again until the next Beacon scheduled transmission time TBTT point to receive the Beacon.
Fig. 5 shows a conventional traffic indication map TIM and a transceiver switch scheme. The wireless device STA establishes a connection with the AP, and during the connection process, the two parties can agree with a listening Interval (Listen Interval) so as to wake up periodically and turn on a transceiver to receive a Beacon Beacon periodically broadcast by the AP. When the wireless device STA has no data to receive and transmit, the access point AP is told to enter a power saving mode by an empty data NULL request frame with a power saving flag ps _ flag being 1, and then the wireless device STA turns off the transceiver and periodically turns on the transceiver to receive the Beacon Beacon according to a listening Interval Listen Interval.
The timing Synchronization between the AP and the STA is realized by synchronizing a Timestamp and a local Time Synchronization Function counter (TSF timer) in the Beacon after receiving the Beacon each Time.
The process flow after each Beacon hearing is as follows:
in step 502, the transceiver is turned on at a beacon scheduled transmission time TBTT point. In step 504, a complete beacon frame is received, and in step 506, the reception is complete. A cyclic redundancy CRC check is performed in step 508 to confirm the validity of the Beacon (e.g., a check of the frame check sequence FCS, an address check, etc.), and if the Beacon is valid, step 510 is entered, and if the Beacon is invalid, the transceiver (radio frequency module) is turned off in step 516, and the process returns to step 502 to wait for the next Beacon scheduled transmission time TBTT. In step 510, the local TSF is updated and the traffic indication map TIM information is checked. In step 512, it is determined whether there is a buffered packet. If yes, then step 514 is performed to wake up the processor and receive a data packet via the transceiver. Until all packets have been received, the processor is shut down in step 515. If there are no buffered packets or step 515 is complete, then step 516 is performed to turn off the transceiver, and then step 502 is performed to wait for the next scheduled beacon transmission time TBTT.
It can be seen that in the conventional power-saving mode, the wireless device STA must finish receiving the complete Beacon to confirm the validity of the Beacon, and then can determine whether to turn off the transceiver (radio frequency module RF).
FIG. 6 shows an exemplary traffic indication map TIM and transceiver switching scheme according to the present invention.
In step 602, the wireless device turns on the transceiver of the wireless device for a Beacon Transmission Time (TBTT). In principle, the access point AP would transmit a beacon at this time as well, as it is not.
In the process of receiving the beacon, the embodiment of the invention can react only by a part of the beacon without completely receiving the beacon. For example, in step 604, partial beacon data for a beacon is received by the wireless device, wherein the partial beacon data has a length that is less than a full length of the beacon and the partial beacon data includes at least a time stamp and a traffic indication map.
The wireless device then determines whether it needs to receive data packets according to the traffic indicator map, step 606. The present embodiment is characterized in that if the wireless device determines that the data packet does not need to be received, the transceiver of the wireless device can be turned off without receiving the beacon, thereby achieving the power saving effect.
However, if the CRC check is not performed while checking the traffic indication map TIM in step 606, there may be two possibilities of false positives. In the first case: the access point AP has the buffered data packet, but the wireless device STA erroneously determines that there is no data packet, and in this case, the wireless device STA will not trigger the access point AP to transmit the data packet, so that the buffered data packet cannot be received in the current period. However, as long as the subsequent Beacon can receive correctly, the data packet can be received in the following period, and the problem of data loss is not caused. In the second case: the access point AP does not buffer the data packet, but the wireless device STA misjudges that there is a data packet, in this case, the whole Beacon will be completely received and the CRC is checked, and it is confirmed that the access point AP does not buffer the data packet, so that no problem will be caused.
In a further embodiment, in the case that the wireless device determines that no data packet needs to be received according to the traffic indication map, step 608 may be further performed to check whether an error between the time stamp and the local time of the wireless device exceeds a threshold. The reason for considering the time error is that the time stamp in the Beacon of this step skips the step of performing CRC check on the frame check sequence FCS, and if a sudden change occurs, it is likely that the content of the frame is received incorrectly. In this case, the conventional method can be reduced, and the subsequent steps are performed according to the CRC check result after the complete data packet is received.
If the error does not exceed the threshold, step 618 is performed to perform a local time synchronization function according to the timestamp, and step 620 is performed to turn off the transceiver of the wireless device.
On the other hand, if the wireless device determines in step 606 that it needs to receive the data packet, then it proceeds to step 610 to receive the beacon completely, where the beacon includes a frame check sequence FCS. After acquiring the full beacon, the wireless device may confirm the correctness of the beacon according to the frame check sequence in step 612. If step 612 finds the beacon to be incorrect, then a jump is made directly to step 620 where the transceiver of the wireless device is turned off.
On the other hand, if the beacon is correct, step 614 may be performed, local time synchronization is performed according to the time stamp, and finally, in step 616, the processor is awakened and a data packet is received through the transceiver. In step 617, after receiving the data packet, the processor may be turned off again, or switched to a sleep mode, a power saving mode, or the like. Finally, step 620 is performed to turn off the transceiver of the wireless device.
After step 620 is completed, the process repeats to step 602, and so on. Summarizing the advantages of the present embodiment, the time for the transceiver and processor to wake up may be further reduced due to the reduced amount of data for receiving beacons. When the device is in a standby state for a long time, the power consumption can be remarkably reduced, and the standby time can be prolonged.
In a further embodiment, the wireless device interprets one or more Element identifiers in the portion of beacon data to find an Information Element (IE) of a traffic indicator map, wherein the IE is a bitmap (bit map) of the Information Element of the traffic indicator map.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the advantages that: the transceiver can be turned off earlier, so that a large amount of unnecessary Beacon receiving time is saved, a large amount of electric power is saved, and a very obvious power saving effect can be obtained when the equipment Idle is used.
Fig. 7 shows an architecture diagram of a wireless device 700 in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. The wireless device may specifically be any mobile device that supports Wi-Fi wireless communication, such as a cell phone or a computer. The wireless device 700 includes at least a transceiver 708, also referred to as a radio frequency module, coupled to an antenna 714 for transmitting and receiving wireless signals. A time synchronization module 710, which can provide a time synchronization function; a power control module 712 that may control power switching of the transceiver 708; a memory 702 for storing software 704 or code; the processor 720, executing the code in the memory 702, controls the overall operation of the wireless device 700 to enable the reception of wireless data. It should be noted that the modules in the wireless device 700, although differentiated by logical functions, may be physically implemented by separate hardware circuit designs or integrated circuit designs. For example, the power control module 712 may determine the power switch of the transceiver 708 by a simple signal control without the need for the processor 720 in a hardware circuit. The wireless device 700 of this embodiment may further include a decision module 706, which may be formed by a programmable logic circuit design with a complexity lower than that of the processor 720, and has simple logic operation and determination functions. When the wireless device 700 or the processor 720 enters the power saving sleep state, the decision module 706 determines the process, such as packet checking, time synchronization, power control, and packet transceiving, with the least power consumption.
For example, the power control module 712 may turn on the transceiver 708 at a beacon scheduled transmission time. The transceiver 708 receives partial beacon data for a beacon, wherein the partial beacon data has a length that is less than a full length of the beacon and the partial beacon data includes a timestamp and a traffic indication map. At this time, the processor 720 may be in a sleep power saving state, and the decision module 706 may maintain the beacon receiving and determining functions with low power consumption. For example, the decision module 706 may determine whether a data packet needs to be received according to the traffic indication map; if the decision block 706 determines that no data packets need to be received, the power control block 712 may be instructed to shut down the transceiver 708 if the beacon is not received, resulting in further power savings for the wireless device 700.
In the event that the decision module 706 determines that a data packet needs to be received, the transceiver 708 may be instructed to receive the beacon in its entirety, where the entire beacon includes a frame check sequence FCS. The decision module 706 may confirm the correctness of the beacon according to the frame check sequence FCS, e.g., perform a cyclic redundancy check CRC. If the beacon is not correct, decision module 706 instructs power control module 712 to turn off the transceiver 708. The decision module 706 in this embodiment is only for functional illustration, and may actually be implemented by logic circuits with lower complexity than the processor in combination with software. Similarly, the power control module 712, which switches the transceiver 708, may be circuit hardware, but is not excluded from software programming.
On the other hand, when the decision module 706 determines that a data packet needs to be received and the beacon is correct, the time synchronization module 710 performs a local time synchronization function according to the time stamp, and the transceiver 708 receives the data packet; after the transceiver 708 completes receiving the data packet, the power control module 712 turns off the transceiver 708.
On the other hand, in the case where the decision module 706 determines that no data packet needs to be received, the processor 720 maintains a state of not being woken up. The decision module 706 can then check whether the error between the time stamp and the local time of the wireless device exceeds a threshold. If the error does not exceed the threshold, the decision block 706 may instruct the time synchronization block 710 to perform a local time synchronization function according to the time stamp before instructing the power control block 712 to shut down the transceiver 708. The threshold value in this embodiment may be a unit of time, such as a few microseconds or a few milliseconds.
On the other hand, in the case where the error exceeds the threshold, it indicates that there may be an error in beacon reception, requiring reception of a full beacon for confirmation. The decision module 706 may indicate to the transceiver 708 that the beacon, including the frame check sequence FCS, is received in its entirety. Decision module 706 checks the frame check sequence FCS to confirm the beacon correctness. If the beacon acknowledgement is not received correctly, no processing is required and decision module 706 may instruct the power control module 712 to turn off the transceiver 708 of the wireless device. On the other hand, if the beacon checks correctly, it indicates that it is determined that a data packet needs to be received, or that there is a time synchronization problem. At this time, the decision module 706 instructs the time synchronization module 710 to perform the local time synchronization function according to the time stamp, and then wakes up the processor 720, and performs the packet reception through the transceiver 708. The processor 720 may enter the sleep power saving mode again after the reception of the data packet is completed, and the power control module 712 also stops supplying power to the transceiver 708 to save power.
In summary, the technical effect of the present invention is to save a large percentage of power consumption for a wireless device in an idle state for a long time. The modules involved in the wireless device are only functional descriptions, and the implementation may include many different functional modules, and are not limited to the items listed in the embodiments, and the functional modules are not limited to being implemented by hardware circuits or by programmable software.
